PERPETUUM MOBILE:
The Secret Not to Die
What if the legends of vampirism were never myths-but fragments of a terrifying truth hidden throughout history?
While Europe is engulfed in the turmoil of WAR, historian and scholar Andr?D'Aguilles becomes embroiled in an extraordinary investigation that calls into question everything he believes about life, death, and immortality.
HAVING FIRST BEEN ENMESHED IN NAPOLEON'S LIGHTNING-FAST CONQUESTS AS A HUSSAR, he is commissioned (by a PEACE TREATY) to investigate mysterious accounts of resurrection, vampires, and the undead throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Andr?follows a trail of ancient secrets stretching from Italy to the Balkans, from forgotten libraries and hidden manuscripts to remote castles, battlefields, monasteries, and forbidden places where history and legend become indistinguishable.
Along the way, he encounters some of the era's most fascinating figures-including the legendary composers TARTINI and Niccol?Paganini-whose lives may conceal SHOCKING MYSTERIES LINKED TO ANCIENT SORCERY, NECROMANCY, AND ALCHEMY.
PERPETUUM MOBILE explores the hidden origins of vampirism itself WITHIN THE HISTORICAL REALMS OF FOLKLORE: a world NOT ONLY of the undead, BUT ALSO of secret societies, occult knowledge, ancient beliefs, and THE MOST POWERFUL FORCES willing to kill TO PROTECT THEIR SECRETS.
As Andr?delves deeper into a labyrinth of conspiracies, supernatural phenomena, and forbidden truths, he discovers that humanity's oldest dream might also be its greatest nightmare.
What if death isn't the enemy?
What if immortality is?
Combining historical adventure, battles and duels, mystery, folklore, supernatural suspense, and a richly documented European history, PERPETUUM MOBILE: The Secret to Not Dying offers a bold and original take on vampirism, resurrection, and the eternal quest to conquer death.
Some secrets are buried for a reason.
And some should never be brought back to life.
